What is shady about Tilt and Stars?

Just checking in again to see if anyone has seen any of their delayed deposits clear? I am still waiting on the December deposits to clear as well as a recent 2/11 deposit that hasn't cleared yet. I'm in Montana and it's a small, hometown bank.

Keep us updated if you have anything finally clear so the rest of us can be forewarned that they may be starting to clear again.

You think?

If you want your money fast request a wire

Yes, no kidding. I typically request a wire. That is my point. My wires, which used to take 2 days, are now taking weeks, only to be returned to my FTP account, and this just started happening recently. They told me through email that they were experiencing a delay, and gave me a date when the funds should be in my bank account. That day came and went, and again, funds were returned to my FTP account. So now I requested just a normal bank transfer, so we will see how long this takes.

So my deposits were in that MID NOV to late DEC... When do you guys think they will be able to process those. I don't plan on closing my bank account or anything but I would prefer they take the money sooner than later if they are going to do it at all. It's a bit unsettling to have that money sitting there and knowing it is owed.

No one knows what is going to happen, most likely at some point they will take the money, but no one really knows for sure and ftp isn't helping matters by not staying out in front of this issue as it relates to their PR strategy.

When a Stars echeck doesn't clear usually it is credited from your PokerStars balance, when a FTP echeck doesn't clear, its in limbo forever? Has FTP ever credited anyones PokerStars account?

I have 1200 in deposits that have yet to clear and its been over a month. I have plenty of money in the bank, but I would like a nice courtesy update to what is going on.

so weird. i've still only had 1 of my 10 dollar deposits clear through my bank. (since Dec. 1st) 4 other tens and 2 twenties haven't cleared.

Made an initial deposit in late January of $100. Hasn't cleared yet.

Thanks for the update. Status unchanged here. Money just sitting there in a non-interest bearing account is no good.

6 deposits totaling $2200 since November 2010 still have not gone through. My bank is the patriotic bank and im sure SOMETHING has GOT to be happening to these funds!

I think it's absolutely hilarious that its been 3.5 months for some people since the deposit issues began. In my line of work, an A/R collection of 3.5 months (that's 105 days for you non-accounting types) is written off.....

FTP is really screwing themselves.

otwithstanding section 5362 (2), a financial transaction provider, or any interactive computer service or telecommunications service, may be liable under this subchapter if such person has actual knowledge and control of bets and wagers, and—
(1) operates, manages, supervises, or directs an Internet website at which unlawful bets or wagers may be placed, received, or otherwise made, or at which unlawful bets or wagers are offered to be placed, received, or otherwise made; or
(2) owns or controls, or is owned or controlled by, any person who operates, manages, supervises, or directs an Internet website at which unlawful bets or wagers may be placed, received, or otherwise made, or at which unlawful bets or wagers are offered to be placed, received, or otherwise made.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Internet gambling is primarily funded through personal use of payment system instruments, credit cards, and wire transfers.
(2) The National Gambling Impact Study Commission in 1999 recommended the passage of legislation to prohibit wire transfers to Internet gambling sites or the banks which represent such sites.
(3) Internet gambling is a growing cause of debt collection problems for insured depository institutions and the consumer credit industry.
(4) New mechanisms for enforcing gambling laws on the Internet are necessary because traditional law enforcement mechanisms are often inadequate for enforcing gambling prohibitions or regulations on the Internet, especially where such gambling crosses State or national borders.
(b) Rule of Construction.— No provision of this subchapter shall be construed as altering, limiting, or extending any Federal or State law or Tribal-State compact prohibiting, permitting, or regulating gambling within the United States.

First to suggest the banhammer be applied....

Not so much for WHAT is posted but more for the fact that it has absolutely nothing to do with the OP. Pfffft.

i have two friends with 6k and 13k since october and november that havent cleared yet. the one made deposits in 2011 and they have cleared.

Yes well, I suspect everyone on 2+2 has been aware of the UIGEA far longer than you and it STILL has exactly nothing to do with the OP... Payments were processing just fine until the processor in MD got busted and they'll be processed again just fine by whatever new processor(s) the major sites settle (have settled) on. UIGEA is practically unenforceable as long as the sites are willing to circumvent it and take the occasional hit.

Don't forget about needing to find processors that are willing to commit a felony for these payments to go through just fine. You're probably safer running a large-scale grow op out of your basement than being a gambling processor.

And yet SOMEHOW, both PS and FT seem to have found/keep finding them.

(I know just HOW MUCH you love my caps for emphasis).

Yup, everything's been running fine.

Wow, can you really be that huge of a troll? Who said they didn't have issues, yet somehow they're still operating and taking new deposits every day and paying out just as they have in the past. Yes there have been and will be disruptions but that's the cost of doing business in the current environment in the U.S. and they seem perfectly willing and able to pay those costs and continue. Having said that PS has handled the situation better than FT imho but they're both still doing business with U.S. customers and I don't see it changing near term.

Has anyone made any deposits on FT within the last two weeks using echecks that have cleared??

I owe FT about $1500, and closed my bank account at HSBC. However I still have a HSBC checking account but with a different bank account number and the same routing number. Will FT be able to take out the money I owe them with the different bank account number, but same routing number???

space ghost FTW!!!!!!!!
